We should tax opinions like this right out of existence.
This dude has almost half a trillion dollars to his name.
Larry, instead of waxing lyrical about your desire for a police state, how about you bugger off to a private island and establish your own society there, and leave the rest of the world for people who don't clamor for more money after making hundreds of billions of dollars.
Some people just aren't satisfied with having too much. I'm not in favor of a "abolish billionaires" catch-all policy, but from having met a bunch of billionaires, some just need to call it a day and spend more time with their families.
- IAmGraydon 1y agoYou can get $10 million or even $100 million because you love business and love making money. When you start to approach levels north of $1 billion, you don't get there unless you just love something more than money. That amount of money is unnecessary for any person to materially better their own or their family's lives. You only get there if you love power. This is why so many billionaires seem to be turning into psychopaths - they were already power addicts and they just get to levels of wealth that enables them to express it fully. They never wanted islands and jets. They want complete control.
